If you ever invested your time and energy cooking anything French classic, you probably noticed that the best things always have the least number of components. For example, classic Boeuf Bourguignon only has five or six ingredients, it’s the method that brings forth the most flavor and makes this the best tasting (and looking) stew you’ll ever […]
LAST SEEN IN MY KITCHEN ...
Holubtzi — Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
If I had to name one dish that immediately recalls childhood for me, it would be this one. Stuffed cabbage rolls called Holubtzi in Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, and possibly other Slavic languages, invariably bring back memories of my Kindergarten. You see, in our Kindergarten they fed us breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner, all cooked on […]
Lamb Tagine With Eggplant & Couscous
I have only one question for you people. How did it happen that I still don’t own a tagine? I mean, I pretty much own everything else, but not that quirky looking clay crock. Why, would you ask, does one need to own a tagine? And I will tell you: I tried something new yesterday, […]

Dearly Belated. Making Matzoh Brei

I signed my kid up for Jewish library distribution a while back. They send her an age appropriate book each month. The books are supposed to showcase essentials of […]
Asian Inspired Roasted Red Snapper & Braised Bok Choi
We bought a Kamado grill. Need I say more? Once I figured out how to light it, things have been cooking on it like no tomorrow. First I threw a butterflied leg-o-lamb on it. That thing had been marinating in my fridge for over 24 hrs. It didn’t quite come out blog-worthy, due to temperature […]
High Flame Chicken Stew
This dish is a marvel of home cuisine. It’s good in any weather, easy as can be, and with mere five to six ingredients readily available it will never send you grocery shopping in order to make it. Yes, you heard me, just five or six, and can be even four if you choose not […]
